They were updating all the modules on the truck.. one of them failed a few times, so they kept it half way through the next day; it still didn't take the update, so they are gave me the truck back and are waiting on instruction from ford.
The trailer brake failed to work the first time I...
Dropped my truck off at 6:30am this am, and just spoke with the dealer (its noon here). They say the update is going well, but could take up to 8 hours to complete; they have to update every module in the truck.
..hopefully that means I will have BlueCruise and cameras at speed when they are...
Ford Recalls Almost 400,000 Trucks Over Trailer Brake Software Issue
https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/ford-recalls-400k-trucks-trailer-brake-maverick-f150-super-duty/
Ford will start notifying owners of affected models by mail on or around April 18, 2022. If you believe your vehicle is...
It should work as expected, and by using 1/2 of the the 240 outlet you will have 30 amps of 120v power available (if your wiring and outlets can handle it.. many residential outlet won't take more than 15-20amps).
having said that, I would still consider getting a weatherproof box for your inlet.
If that is a single 20 amp circuit, without any sort of fuse box, you should be able to just terminate your wire with an inlet plug; something like this (only rated at 15 amp):

..and then use a standard extension cord from your truck.
It's hard to say for...
I had some weird rendering issues with the latest version, until I removed the widget, restarted the phone, and re-added it to my home screen. I did un-install the old version first; It might be a good idea to reboot before / after installing the new version.
Issues included the refresh time...
The only way I could see this working, is to used a hacked version of android auto. Probably easier to put a phone holder on the dash, and watch it on a phone or tablet
Looking at the etrailer web site, they have a custom fitted snap on mirror comming in mid April:

Maybe, but probably not.. its not a ford factory software; there are posts on here where people have had dealers say yes and no. More info on these forums on how to use it as well.
I personally haven't used it, but as I see more and more use for it, I am considering getting the software and...
You can also just lock the key fob inside the truck using the keypad on the drivers door (press the two bottom keys simultaneously; just make sure you know the combo to open;)..
This also solves the problem of the horn beeping every time you close the door with the vehicle left on
Is there an explanation / diagram that demonstrates the "Offset design for more spring/UCA clearance and easier alignment"? How does this differ from any other spacer kit?
There is a screen that will show trailer brake gain... if the trailer brake is working you will see the the length of the bar increase as the brake pedal is pressed or the controller is squeezed. This (and the lack of stopping power) is how most of us tell if the brake is working.
Anyone notice that there seems to be more adjustability in the screen brightness with software version 2.1? when I bought my truck it had 1.4 and the lowest brightness was almost too bright on dark nights.. with a more recent update, I find I actually turn the brightness up a couple of levels...
Not sure if it helps, but I was running older software with no updates until I bought an unlimited data plan. I kept maxing out the trial data plan; within a week of activating the unlimited data on my truck I got 1.7.1, followed by 2.1.1 another week or so later. It might help to connect the...
I didn't add pins, I cleaned and added dielectric grease, essentially same as the video you posted, but tightened the contacts first.
Before I added the grease (I used less than the guy in the video, to keep it from gathering dirt when not in use), I used a small pick / probe to push the...
My camper has the dual blade design, and I did have this problem initially.
I fixed it by cleaning the blades, using a small pick to bend them into a tighter fit, and then added dielectric grease to the brake and gound pins for good measure.
Since doing this I have towed close to 1000 miles...
